Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

This episode of SNW presents us with one of the classic time travel episodes that we know all too well from the episodic Star Trek series.

Of course, a case-of-the-week format can't reinvent the wheel here, and so the development of the story remains linear and the quest is really mastered along the way.

What the episode does excel at, however, and this is where it ties in with the qualities of TOS, TNG or even VOY, is giving characters depth and letting us participate in the inner lives of its protagonists.

Meanwhile, the episode once again shows an understanding by the scriptwriters of the authoritative coolness and humor that characterizes the great captains of Star Trek and that otherwise Captain Pike brilliantly represents.

TLDR: A condensed story that leaves science and hurdles to the left to let its characters shine.

At first, this episode appears like it will be simply another time traveling story. However, as it unfolds, we are treated to a greater in-depth look at a central and recurring character. She is a tragic figure, and the episode's title (taken from McBeth) is fitting. Time constraints keep the writers from delving deeper, and there is admittedly missed opportunities to flesh out the relational development, but this does not detract from the narrative as a whole. The final scene is especially poignant, and the viewer is given ample time to reflect on the character's situation and the depth of her loneliness. This episode was Star Trek as it was meant to be. Good storytelling, interesting characters, and a nuanced look at human nature.

One of the best with Action, Mystery, Romance , and drama - well written and well acted - the story moved and was fun on top of everything else - isn't that what entertainment is supposed to be - not trying to make critic review points - The Peoples Choice awards is more important to Studios , the Academy is more important to the Employee's ( Actors, Director etc ) - My favorite Star Trek was when the Enterprise crew went back to the 20 century to retrieve whales to save earth , and the Star Trek Voyager time travel to San Francisco to retrieve a time machine - those stories were fun - as was this one although one was a movie and the other had a several part episode - I would like to have seen a second episode with this format but perhaps for another time ( pun intended )

Strange New Worlds delivers again. Ever since TOS 'Tomorrow Is Yesterday' I've loved Star Trek time travel episodes (they are at the heart of Star Trek); some of my favorites are: 'Assignment: Earth,' 'The City on the Edge of Forever,' 'Past Tense,' and 'Trials and Tribble-ations.' Now I have another favorite with 'Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.'

La'an (Christina Chong) faces not so much a paradox, but a painful moral decision in an alternate timeline: her happiness vs doing the right thing. Chong plays La'an as a stone hard security officer with a deep, driven soul and Paul Wesley breaks through her shell.

Great episode!

A classic journey filled with time jumps and captivating storytelling. It's a delight to witness another step in the humanization of La'an, as the character continues to develop and evolve. Additionally, seeing Kirk back in action brings a sense of nostalgia and excitement to fans of the series.

While the episode maintains its entertainment value, there are a few drawbacks worth mentioning. Firstly, the series is titled "Strange New Worlds," yet in these initial three episodes of the new season, we have yet to see any glimpse of new planets. This feels like a missed opportunity to explore the vastness of the Star Trek universe. Second, it is disappointing how little presence there is of Captain Pike (which also happened in the first episode of this second season), who seems to be increasingly relegated to a supporting role.
